Here the metric system comes to help: almost any liquid in the kitchen is about as dense as water, so 1ml = 1g.

Oils are a bit less dense, but there you just subtract 10%, i.e. 100ml rapeseed oil is about 90g.

Honey is a far outlier with 1.4g/ml, but it usually given in grams.

The crowd drinking the raw milk probably largely intersects with the antivaxx part of the population and the "horse de-wormer cures COVID" people.

While they are - in a very broad sense - humans, their loss would generally improve the human gene pool.

Luckily, I live in a metric country, and nobody uses cups for measuring except from my wife who waters the plant with two cups of water.

The problem always arises when I find an American recipe with such fantastic measurements like "two cups of spinach". Yes, that is a real one.

Just two days ago there was a warning on the radio that in a few cities, criminals have placed stickers with their own QR codes over the original ones on the parking ticket vending machines. So if you want to purchase a parking ticket online, it sent you to their own website, faked to look like the original one, and requested to enter CC data for the payment.

I don't f-ing care about US soldiers and spies being tracked. What concerns me is that many many more normal people have most likely been tracked, too.

One can only hope they get seriously fined for that, maybe per incident of scanning someone. But I doubt it.

In the civilized world, they are. Except for liquids, but that's a given.

This stupid "How many grams is a f-ing cup of again?" is a pain in the a...

Given that the US education system is wrestling with so many problems, maybe she is the right choice. /s

To declare a "National Emergency", he probably needs a cause. How does American law deal with those "National Emergency" situations? Does he need some proof? Does he need confirmation from somewhere?

Keep in mind that it also costs another trillion in lost taxes over 10 years. But the underbrained white male magaheads will be happy to shoulder that cost. It's for the country, guys!

I'm sure the blue states won't have an issue losing the subsidies-dependent red states. I wonder where flyover country wants to get the money from to keep up their lifestyle.
